Abstract

According to the F-35 Selected Acquisition Report, dated December 2015 and sent to Congress in March, the Pentagon plans to spend $32.2 billion to buy these aircraft and engines during this three-year window, a sum that assumes block-buy savings of $2.6 billion for the aircraft and $1 billion for the engine.\n
